My wonderful friend...Susanna

My friend Susanna had posted that she used her "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook to cleverly disguise veggies into food and be undetected. So I remembered I had that book to and so I have used it myself and all I can say is WOW. I made the chocolate chip cookies (with chickpea's shhhh) for my family. They are so yummy it's silly. So I decided to share the recipe, because 1. you will love them with a glass of milk and 2. you won't mind your kids pigging out on them because they are actually good for you.
Oh and I also sneaked in sweet potato to in to my lasagna last night and completely undetected and delicious. I just followed my usually lasagna recipe, but after the meat was cooked I add cooked sweet potato (smooshed it up in the magic bullet with a little water) in to the meat mixture and then I added the pasta sauce (mix it up really good) and then proceed as normal.
